Eggs There were 70 yellow eggs laid which were 3.0mm in diameter.
Time to hatch 4 days
Number: 55
Free swimming: 14 days
Segregation The eggs were kicked out after about 3 days of the male fanning them. I found them fast and tumbled them. A very big amount were good and hatched within 4 days. Since then i only lost one wriggler. They have been doing very well and soon i will swap them into a couple of breeder boxes.
